Cilia are tiny hair like structures on the surface of the cell. The hairs sweep hair, mucus, trapped dust and bacteria up to the back of the throat where it can be swallowed.

A region of epithelium consisting of columnar or cuboidal cells bearing hairlike appendages (see cilium) that are capable of beating rapidly. Ciliated epithelium performs the function of moving particles or fluid over the epithelial surface in such structures as the trachea, bronchial tubes, and nasal cavities.

Ciliated epithelia are found in the airways, the uterus and Fallopian tubes, the efferent ducts of the testes, and the ventricular system of the brain.

Ciliated Epithelial Cells are column shaped cells, that cover many surfaces. They have tiny projections on their exposed surface, called Cilia, which beat in a synchronised pattern to move Mucus, produced by Goblet Cells, along the surface. They can be found, for example, in the Trachea, the Uterus and the Bronchi.

Egg and sperm cells are sex cells and are referred to as gametes. Ciliated epithelial cells They have tiny hair-like projections called cilia that move in a wave-like motion. These cells are usually found in our breathing passages like our trachea and nose.

It is unlikely for anyone to get a UTI or STD from a toilet seat, as the urethra in males and females typically wouldn’t touch the toilet seat.

Poor hydration can compound symptoms of a UTI. It can also increase the risk of kidney and bladder infections.

“It’s estimated 50 percent of UTIs can be treated by drinking a significant amount of fluid alone,” says Felecia Fick, a Mayo Clinic urogynecology physician assistant who was not involved in the study. “The extra you’re drinking is flushing out the bacteria that are present in the urinary tract.”
